Awesome. Where'd you find the Littlemill?

I have a good relationship with the purchaser for Willowpark Wines and Spirits in Calgary. He held a bottle on the last order because he knew I wanted it.

Ha, I was actually planning on picking up a bottle of the Laga Distiller's Edition this week.

Have you already tried it? What are your thoughts on it?

Eh, only bought it because I'm a fan of Lagavulin. The peat isn't as strong as in the 16. Liked the vanilla/fudge note in it. Didn't like it THAT much though. Nothing mindblowing and definitely not worth the $100+ price tag. Going to return the second bottle I purchased. For the price of one, I'm going to pick up 2 bottles of the regular 16 or two bottles of Oban.

Some of the more recent acquisitions, some single malts from a distillery of nostalgic significance.

A few bottles of Macallan Cask Strength, two bottles at 58.6% and one bottle at 60.1%:

Hopefully the batch variations are minimal and they will be comparable to the bottle at 59% that I have open and drinking sparingly from.

A couple of bottles of the Macallan 18 Year Old Sherry Oak Vintage 1995:

A few bottles of the TWE bottlings of vintage Macallan for the Whisky Trail series, two bottles of the vintage 1990 bottled in 2011 and a bottle of the vintage 1989 bottled in 2011:

Also a bottle of something that I have started appreciating - Irish pot still, Redbreast 12 Year Old Cask Strength Batch B1/11:

[Lotusguy]

That Redbreast Cask Strength is mighty tasty!!

If the price difference is that big, I totally understand. Here in Switzerland the D.E. is approx 40% more expensive than the regular 16. Maybe I'll give the Talisker D.E. a try instead. It got quite a few good reviews.

[dangolf18]

Lagavulin 16 is usually $67-85 here in the states but it's been on sale for $54.99 just recently. I wouldn't be surprised if it were 90-100CHF in Switzerland. I mean a regular bottle of Grey Goose is around 70 CHF if I remember correctly.

[Lotusguy]

I always wait for the Costco special before I stock up on Laga 16 and Oban 14 - by far the best price around!

Still looking for a good price on the Laga 12Y cask strength - the only place that has it for under my magic limit of $100 has it "in store only" and is in Ilinois . that stuff is a revelation compared to the 16 or DE!!

Lagavulin 16 is CHF 60,- here (about USD 67,-). Ended up just buying that again because I like it. ...and a bottle of Macallan 12 Sherry Oak out of curiosity, never tried it before.
